Options for Upgrading and Renovating Your Office Fitouts

There is a growing trend dealing with working with what you have or what is already there. For business owners, this means upgrading a building rather than selling or buying a new one. Many contractors can now handle renovations and office fitouts that completely change and upgrade the entire space. Here are some options for upgrading and renovating your office and how each option may benefit you. 

Light Filtering Smart Shades

An issue for many offices deals with the sun. Sunlight has many health benefits, but in an office, it can be a problem. The sunlight can raise the heat in the building causing issues with energy consumption and energy costs. It can also cause uncomfortable glare in working areas. One way to combat these and other related issues is to have light filtering smart shades used throughout the building. These smart shades allow natural sunlight in while reducing the glare and the energy costs of the property. The shades can connect to smart devices in your maintenance area or be set to an alarm, timer or temperature sensor. 

Conference Room Charging Stations

One of the areas you and many of your employees may spend a lot of time is in the conference room. The problem with this is that many conference rooms are not equipped with any type of charging devices or charging outlets. This is especially true in older office buildings that have not been upgraded or renovated in recent years. One upgrade you can make is to choose office fitouts that allow for USB charging at each conference table seat. This will allow your tablets and phones to remain charged through longer meetings and help reduce distractions due to low battery issues. 

Walkway LED Lighting

Even if you do not hold overnight office hours, you will have people in the office. These people may be cleaning staff or security staff. You may also have maintenance staff or some skeleton office crews working overtime. This means that the building may be dark or may have areas that are not as well lit as other areas. One way to increase the safety of the building after hours is to do an office outfit in walkway LED lighting. This LED lighting is soft enough to light the walkway in halls and into office and bathroom areas without becoming glaring or distracting. 

Contact the contractor of your choice when you are ready to start an office fitout. They can help you determine the best options available to you and what you may be able to do to increase the value of your upgrades. They will also schedule an appointment to do a walkthrough of the office. This will help them assess and determine what options can easily be put into place and which ones may need adjustments.
